  Hey everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:31
  coop. Hope you guys are having a great
• 0:33
  start to your day as we are out here.
• 0:36
  So for those of you who want to start something and you are
• 0:40
  thinking about changing what you're doing or you're in the
• 0:43
  process of beginning something, this is for all of you.
• 0:47
  I just started working with a woman who said to me, I I'm not
• 0:51
  sure I'm starting over. It's so I'm in a different stage
• 0:54
  in my life. I'm older, I thought.
• 0:57
  You know what? I'm going to record a podcast
• 1:00
  for her and I'm going to let her listen to this so she
• 1:03
  understands it. Besides just a session where she
• 1:06
  and I are talking about it, because this is so important for
• 1:08
  all of you to realize, age is just a construct that we have.
• 1:14
  Yes, of course, things begin. They go to a middle and they end
• 1:19
  in our human form of what we look at.
• 1:22
  We see that. But energy never does that.
• 1:25
  Energy is always. Always on the move.
• 1:28
  It's always here. It's always driving.
• 1:30
  It's always transforming. It's always moving.
• 1:33
  So that's the first thing to remember.
• 1:35
  The second thing when you're older and you want to start
• 1:38
  something, think about this list Henry Ford started at age 40 or
• 1:45
  had that, you know, the whole, you know, ideas of it.
• 1:49
  Christian Dior, 41, Sam Walton, 44, GoDaddy.
• 1:55
  Bob Parsons. 47 Adidas Adi Dassler 48 Bernie Marcus started
• 2:03
  Home Depot when he was 49. Ray Kroc started McDonald's when
• 2:07
  he was 52. Harlan Sanders, you know,
• 2:11
  Colonel Sanders are very most famous chicken guy, 62 years
• 2:15
  old. And the gentleman who started
• 2:17
  E*Trade, Bill Porter, was 63 years old.
• 2:22
  And I can tell you without question, without question.
• 2:26
  Now for those of you who are out there and saying, hey, listen, I
• 2:30
  just don't know about this or whatever, it doesn't matter.
• 2:33
  It doesn't matter. And I believe if I, and for some
• 2:36
  reason this list happens to be male, But I will tell you one
• 2:39
  thing, I know that there's a list of females out there too.
• 2:43
  And the next time I pull this and I do the Google search, I
• 2:46
  will make sure to ask for males and females.
• 2:49
  Isn't that interesting? It only pulled males.
• 2:51
  However, I do know Louise Hay started Hay House when she was
• 2:55
  in her late 50s and she ran that until she passed away, I believe
• 3:00
  in her 80s. So I will tell you, the age
• 3:05
  construct is just interesting to me because.
• 3:08
  It's not about how old you are when you start, it's about how
• 3:11
  you finish. It's never about how you start.
• 3:14
  It's about how you finish. It's about what you do in the
• 3:16
  process. It's about how you think this
• 3:19
  through and how you attune to that part of yourself and are
• 3:26
  you telling yourself you have limitations about it, so.
• 3:31
  You know, I didn't write my first book when I was in my 20s.
• 3:34
  I didn't write my first book when I was in my 30s.
• 3:38
  I wrote my first book when I was in my 40s.
• 3:41
  And I will tell you, I I had that moment of like, oh man.
• 3:46
  And you know, now I don't even think about this.
• 3:48
  I didn't start this podcast until I was in my 50s.
• 3:51
  So come on, seriously? Like, this is what we're going
• 3:54
  to worry about? I don't think so.
• 3:56
  This is a waste of time. And when you're kind of counting
• 3:59
  time, if you're if you are focused on that piece and you
• 4:02
  are thinking about it, why would you want to waste it worrying
• 4:05
  about something that you can't change?
• 4:08
  We can't change our quote UN quote human age.
• 4:11
  We cannot. So why worry about it?
• 4:13
  Why not just defy it? Why not put it in its place and
• 4:16
  say OK, so? Big deal.
• 4:20
  That's the condition in which I have to operate.
• 4:22
  Doesn't mean I have to stay that way.
• 4:24
  There's a woman, I don't know her name, but she's one of the
• 4:30
  yoga masters that travels all over the world and she's in her
• 4:35
  90s. And she's unbelievable in her
• 4:39
  90s. Why?
• 4:40
  Because she's full of life. She's made a decision in her
• 4:43
  head that her body serves her. She does not serve her body.
• 4:48
  So she goes out there, she works out, she does everything that
• 4:51
  she needs to do. And she doesn't worry about that
• 4:54
  piece of it. She's just out there loving
• 4:56
  people, helping people and giving them hope.
• 4:59
  And that's what it's all about, my friends.
• 5:01
  That's what it's all about. So I'm here to tell you as you
• 5:03
  listen to this. It doesn't matter if you're a
• 5:06
  man or a woman. And boy will I correct that one
• 5:08
  next time, because I didn't even realize.
• 5:11
  So I looked at the list as I was speaking about it.
• 5:15
  But I will say this is the part that you have a choice.
• 5:21
  You have a choice. You don't have to be stuck.
• 5:26
  You just have to be clear on the fact that you don't care about
• 5:29
  that part. It's never too late.
• 5:32
  It's only late if you put it that way.
• 5:34
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:37
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
